Today is the day that is the whole reason for the travels north. Today we celebrate the marriage of my son, Timothy and his wife Samantha with much of our Michigan family and a pretty good hand full that make the trip north from Georgia and Florida.
We gather this evening at the Gandy Dancer in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a nice little three course dinner. The Gandy Dancer is a converted railway station and dinner is accompanied by the occasional passing Amtrak. The folks over on the restaurant side applaud each time a train passes.
Dinner is fabulous and the only complaint I hear is that the choice of what to order is too hard. Everyone is satisfied with their choices ultimately and that is all that matters.
A couple of quick family photo ops and we are off to the after party and the home of Tim’s Aunt and Uncle. Of course there is a ton more food. More family and friends join us there. I share a celebratory cigar with Tim and shortly thereafter we are on our way back to home base.
It was a fantastic celebration and well worth the trip, including having to deal with the tire issues. Our time here is short and everyone is headed back south tomorrow. Tim and Sam are off to honeymoon at Disney World, Liz and Kevin have to be back to work on Tuesday and of course, I need to somehow find my way home. More tomorrow. Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel!
